Emotional Intelligence Programmes

Emotional Intelligence is the practice of managing our personality to be both personally and inter- personally effective. This is achieved through the habitual practice of thinking about feeling and feeling about thinking, to guide one’s behaviour. The extent and effectiveness by which an individual does this is determined largely by their attitudes.” (Maddox, 2014)

The structure, culture and productivity of an organisation is often dependent on the emotional intelligence (EI) of its leader and people. Executives with high levels of EI are 32% more effective at building and maintaining relationships.

Leaders and managers whose approach is defensive, authoritarian, hierarchical and ultimately anxious will need to micro-manage and will often be fearful of change.

Conversely, someone who is trusting, open and humble is likely to create an organisation that is receptive to ideas, that trusts its employees to manage their time and is less concerned about status and hierarchy.

Our emotional intelligence programmes will increase your understanding of the principles and practice of EI helping you to explore and develop individual and team intelligence and behaviours.
